ABSTRACT
KEY MESSAGE The Ra extreme resistance against potato virus A was mapped to the upper of chromosome 4 in tetraploid potato. Potato virus A (PVA) is one of the major viruses affecting potato worldwide and can cause serious disease symptoms and yield losses. Previously, we determined that potato cultivar Barbara harbors Rysto (genotype Ryryryry) and Ra (genotype Rararara) that each independently confer extreme resistance to PVA. In this study, employing a combination of next-generation sequencing and bulked-segregant analysis, we further located this novel Ra on chromosome 4 using a tetraploid BC1 potato population derived from a Ry-free progeny (Rararararyryryry) of Barbara (RarararaRyryryry) × F58050 (rararararyryryry). Using 29 insertion-deletion (InDel) markers spanning chromosome 4, Ra was delimited by the InDel markers M8-83 and M10-8 within a genetic interval of 1.46 cM, corresponding to a 1.86-Mb genomic region in the potato DM reference genome. The InDel marker M10-8, which is closely linked with the resistance against PVA in the Ry-free segregating populations, was then used to screen 43 selected Rysto-free tetraploid potato breeding clones. The phenotype to PVA was significantly correlated with the present/absent of the marker, albeit with a 9.3% false positive rate and a 14.0% false negative rate. These findings are of importance in furthering the cloning of Ra and employing the marker-assisted selection for PVA resistance.
